WIKIPEDIA WEAPONISED AGAINST AFRICAN STREAM Search for ‘African Stream’ on Wikipedia. Notice how the first line immediately alleges that our pan-African, anti-imperialist outlet is a Kremlin proxy? As far back as July, The Grayzone’s Max Blumenthal explained that the barrage of media attacks on African Stream from outlets such... as NBC was designed to provide a fund of information to be used by Wikipedia. Regarded by many as a reliable source, this Wiki info is then used to shape public perceptions and even fed into AI models. Since the Max Blumenthal interview, apart from NBC, African Stream has been attacked by the US state-funded Voice of America, Secretary of State Anthony Blinken and the Stanford Internet Observatory. No evidence has been provided for any of the allegations pressed. While disappointing, Western hypocrisy and double standards are not surprising. We only need to look at the treatment of figures like Julian Assange and Edward Snowden to realise that US claims of being a bastion of democracy and a defender of media freedom are mere posturing. The empire maintains a tight grip on the views and opinions it will tolerate, silencing any voices - like our own - that challenge its imperalist interests.show more

The media won’t tell you, and woke liberals are clueless: Trump’s roaring comeback is driven by everyday Americans fed up with soaring bills, not obsessed about a dozen genders or the right to a transgender bathroom. #AbookThatChangesEverything #TrumpWon

Wikipedia is part of the Hegemon cultural appropriation and colonization, just a look at any Western country wiki page makes it pretty clear.

Another reason why Africans must remain neutral in western "conflicts" of interest. In the end, no matter how justified it might appear, there is no conflict in their disdain/disregard of Africa(ns) More reason why I would never contribute a dime to keep that platform afloat.

U.K FOREIGN OFFICE TARGETS AFRICAN STREAM A trove of confidential documents, e-mails and WhatsApp conversations has unveiled a ploy by the British Foreign Office to run a smear campaign against African Stream. The Centre for Information Resilience (CIR) is at the centre of the scheme, the latest by Western governments opposed to our independent and African-centred reporting. According to the documents, CIR is paying African journalists to write articles claiming that African Stream is a Russian-funded propaganda outlet - a claim not backed by any evidence other than similar accusations by the US government. However, as African Stream's editor-in-chief, Ahmed Kaballo, explains in this video, plenty of evidence indicates that CIR is firmly connected to the British government and other Western intelligence establishments. The outfit, masquerading as an 'independent counter-disinformation' organisation, has not only received significant amounts of funding from the UK Foreign Office, USAID and the Australian Foreign Ministry, but most of its senior staff have worked with the aforementioned governments' intelligence wings, including its two directors Ross Burley and Adam Rutland, who are 'former' Foreign Office employees. Knowing who funds the CIR makes it clear why they are coming after us and accusing us of being Russia-affiliated. Our reporting, which exposes the atrocities committed by the imperialist powers against our people, has rubbed them the wrong way. This attack is not the first; we know it won't be the last. But when the next one comes, it will also find us on our feet, not our knees. No number of assaults by imperialism's attack dogs will deter us from our duties as pan-African, anti-imperialist journalists.

AFRICANS WORLDWIDE RAISE VOICES FOR AFRICAN STREAM The struggle against censorship and in defence of independent media that serves the interests of the African majority has become a vital part of the Pan-Africanist struggle today. With tech giants YouTube, Meta (parent company of Facebook, Instagram and Threads), Stripe, TikTok and Google banning African Stream, Africans are doing whatever it takes to continue watching our video reports and fighting for our right to continue to inform the public. In this video, African Stream journalist Inemesit Richardson speaks to Africans from the US, Kenya and Ghana about why they continue to support African Stream despite harsh accusations meted out by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who said African Stream showcases ‘Kremlin propagandists’ and is ‘secretly run’ by Russian-state TV network RT. But where was his proof for these baseless accusations? When it comes to the world's leading superpower, they can enforce censorship and smear us without ever needing to provide any evidence. And do the majority of Africans buy into this claim? According to the Africans we interviewed (on X: tunde of Black Alliance for Peace, Manolo De Los Santos of The People's Forum, Booker Ngesa Omole ☭ of Communist Party Marxist CPM - Kenya, Blaise D.K Tulo of Socialist Movement of Ghana - (SMG)), African Stream represents the perspective of the oppressed, the exploited, and above all, the African working-class. If you agree with what they had to say or are curious about learning more, you can still follow African Stream on X, Telegram, Rumble, Odysee and Patreon.

ZIONISM'S GRIP ON AFRICAN LIBERATION Many African people are shocked by the number of African politicians, celebrities, and friends coming out in support of Israel on social media. But African support for Israel is just as old as the Zionist manipulation of African freedom dreams and liberation struggles around the world. African Stream takes a look at just one of those histories of manipulation that took place in the United States. Let us know if your friends, relatives and favourite celebrities have surprised you.

HOW WEST BUYS AFRICAN JOURNALISTS EXPOSED! A leaked document titled the 'Adaptive Country Plan Research' - obtained by West Africa Weekly's David Hundeyin - reveals the extent of the on-going information war in Africa. In this clip, Hundeyin details how African journalists are used by NGOs to smear anti-imperialist individuals such as himself, as well as platforms like African Stream. The document was assembled by the Centre for Information Resilience (CIR) and circulated to 10 Nigerian journalist who took part in a private retreat at the Kempinski Hotel in Accra, Ghana. In it, unfounded claims by former US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken - that African Stream is a Russian propaganda outfit - are regurgitated, citing sources that fail to produce any evidence. To ‘demonstrate’ that we are doing the Kremlin’s bidding, the document points, for example, to a story we did on the 1995 Nigerian government’s execution of the ‘Ogoni 9’ - environmental activists who opposed the destruction of the Ogoni people and their lands by large conglomerates such as British oil-and-gas company Shell. The absurd logic here seems to be that highlighting Western-backed corporate crimes against Africans is now pro-Russian! CIR, as Hundeyin mentions, is a London-based NGO founded by Adam Rutland and Ross Burley, who are both former employees of the UK's Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO). It claims to be independent but is funded by the FCDO and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). USAID has recently come under scrutiny, following President Donald Trump's funding freeze. The organisation has been accused of being a tool of US foreign policy, dressed up as humanitarian efforts. On 4 February, the Columbia Journalism Review reported that over 6,000 journalists in some 30 countries were USAID funded. Video credit: David Hundeyin (X)

CHRONOLOGY OF ATTACKS ON AFRICAN STREAM For the last three years, African Stream has done what it was created for: fearlessly expose the crimes of imperialism against our people on the continent and in the diaspora. From Cape to Cairo, Haiti to the U.S, we have brought to light issues that many influential people in Western capitals would rather keep under the carpet. For this, we have been made to pay a high price, a price that has resulted in us closing shop for good. When we started the project, we were not naive. We knew that our work would attract the wrath of the empire and its local cronies. However, it was work that had to be done. We could not let fear prevail. To bring us down, they had to resort to the centuries-old script that portrays any African who stands up against oppression as being sponsored by some third force out there. To this end, the U.S. government and its allied entities have accused us of being a Russian propaganda outlet, but without any evidence. Despite our accusers failing to substantiate their claims, social media giants took down our accounts without asking the U.S. government to provide any evidence to back their allegations. Well, we guess that the U.S. is so trustworthy that the world can believe whatever it says. After all, it didn't lie about Iraq having weapons of mass destruction. It didn't even lie about the Gulf of Tonkin incident. The attacks by the U.S. government and the subsequent de-platforming by social-media giants have made it impossible for us to carry out our essential work, forcing us to make the difficult decision to shut down African Stream. This video, our heartfelt farewell to you, our esteemed followers, provides a detailed account of the events that have led to the closure of African Stream.

DAVID HUNDEYIN EXPLAINS U.S. ATTACK ON AFRICAN STREAM To make sense of social-media giants Meta, TikTok and YouTube recently suspending African Stream and other alternative media outlets, Breakthrough News’ Eugene Puryear (@eugenepuryear) and Rania Khalek (Rania Khalek) spoke to Nigerian investigative journalist David Hundeyin (David Hundeyin). However, at the time of this interview, TikTok had not yet permanently banned African Stream. Hundeyin explained how the bans proves the point African Stream has long maintained: That the US is an imperialist power. With the flick of a finger, 1.5 billion continental Africans and 200 million in the diaspora lost access to a critical source of information that sought to build a Pan-African future that would help unify and build economic freedom for the continent. Hundeyin also laid out the historical context behind the seemingly incessant US desire to control the narrative. However, he offered a glimmer of hope as the US is notorious for scoring its own goals. For example, recent US attempts to stifle China’s economic rise have backfired by disrupting the China-US supply chain, increasing operating costs and reducing US companies' competitiveness, according to a recent US Federal Reserve Bank of New York report. Have a watch, and please share your thoughts. Video credit: BreakThrough News

AFRICAN STREAM PERSISTS DESPITE TECH BAN On Friday, the 13th of September, outgoing US Secretary of State Antony Blinken spoke about African Stream at a press briefing, claiming our news outlet showcases ‘Kremlin propagandists’ and is ‘secretly run’ by the Russian-state TV network RT. His comments came without providing a shred of evidence. Shortly afterwards, tech giants Meta (parent company of Facebook, Instagram and Threads), Alphabet (parent company of Google and YouTube), TikTok and Stripe shut down our accounts. As our Burkina Faso-based journalist Inem Richardson (president of the Thomas Sankara Centre or SUPPORT BURKINA BOOKS on X) noted in this clip from our end-of-year review, this is not the first time imperialists have tried to silence an independent African-owned media organisation. The British and French empires banned the sale or possession of the Negro World newspaper in their colonial territories. This publication was established by the pan-Africanist, Marcus Garvey (1887-1940), founder of the United Negro Improvement Association (U.N.I.A) and the African Communities League.

ANTONY BLINKEN KNOWS WE DON'T WORK FOR RUSSIA In 2024, African Stream was banned from YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, even Gmail and Google Drive after US Secretary of State Antony Blinken accused us of being Kremlin propagandists. But what if he doesn't believe his own claims, especially since he provided no proof to validate them? In this video clip from our 'Africa's End of Year Review' livestream, journalist Inem Richardson states that Blinken most likely knows that African Stream is not Russian-funded. However, claiming that we're Russian propagandists, puppets and parrots, sounds a lot better than stating outright that the US State Department opposes Pan-African ideas. She also points out that the targeting of Pan-African media is nothing new. Over 100-years ago the then-famous Negro World newspaper run by Marcus Garvey's United Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) was also heavily targeted by imperialist powers. The full video is on

We sat down to break down what was a shoddily executed propaganda piece. From trying to smear African Stream, to asserting the US does not kill civilians (despite the mountain of evidence to the contrary), the VOA piece seemed designed to whitewash the crimes the US military has committed on the continent.

AFRICAN STREAM IS CLOSING DOWN This is, sadly, a farewell to you, our loyal followers and supporters. Under relentless attack, we’ve made the painful decision to shut down African Stream—a platform that many of you’ve come to trust and love. This decision was not made lightly. The smear by then–US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on September 13, 2024, labelling African Stream “Kremlin propagandists”—triggered a wave of censorship. Within days, YouTube, Meta, Google, and TikTok removed our accounts, and we were demonetised on X. These actions shattered our ability to survive financially. Personal accounts were restricted. What followed was a daily uphill battle. Now, we’re left with only one path: closure. We are deeply grateful for your unwavering support. Your comments, your messages, your shares—you made us stronger, sharper, and more determined. We are deeply proud of the work we’ve done since 2022: bringing attention to the most underreported and misrepresented continent. The imperalists want to perpetuate the dominant narrative that Africa is underdeveloped due to corruption and the mismanagement of resources. They want to remove colonialism, neo-colonialism and imperialism from the picture. We refused to play by those rules. For that, we paid the price. But it’s a price we would pay again and again. Refusing to play by their rules led to NBC saying we spread ‘disinformation’ without providing a single example of what ‘disinformation’ we shared. Voice of America condemned us for reporting a fact: since the George W. Bush administration, every US president has authorised drone strikes on Somalia. As we responded to every smear piece, we just grew bigger and stronger until, finally, those in positions of power realised the smears weren’t working, and the rest is history. We will cease posting as of July 1, 2025, except for a few remaining documentaries from Liberia and Mali. With your support, we managed to ruffle many feathers. Please continue the fight and keep the Pan-African flag flying. Thank you for helping us build African Stream. As we always say: #WeAreAllAfricanStream.

With the flick of a finger, 1.5 billion continental Africans and 200 million in the diaspora lost access to a critical source of information that sought to unify people of African descent globally and encourage sovereignty and liberty for the continent. Hundeyin also laid out the historical context behind the seemingly incessant US desire to control the narrative. However, he offered a glimmer of hope as the US is notorious for scoring its own goals. For example, recent US attempts to stifle China’s economic rise have backfired by disrupting the China-US supply chain, increasing operating costs and reducing US companies' competitiveness, according to a recent US Federal Reserve Bank of New York report. Have a watch, and please share your thoughts. Video credit: BreakThrough News

Getty Images: How The West Silently Profits From Africa’s History Since the birth of what we know today as news media, Africa’s story has been primarily told to the world by non-African voices serving non-African interests. The tragic consequence of this has been a wealth of media assets, photos, videos, audio recordings and documents relevant to Africa’s modern history, chronicling significant African events, but legally owned by Western media, and profited from to this day by Western corporations. In this report for the Spearhead, Barra Hart shines a light on Getty Images, one of the world’s largest digital media platforms, how the US-based company and others like it continue to rake in profits, through their digital media licensing “feature”, from African stories, and what Africa can do about it.

MODIBO: THE STORY OF MALI’S PAN-AFRICAN REVOLUTIONARY LEADER Modibo Keïta was Mali's foremost pan-African leader. While not as widely known among English-speaking audiences as other greats from the continent, he was one of Africa's most important figures in the revolutionary socialist movement for independence. This documentary, produced by African Stream, offers a closer look at his life, politics and legacy, particularly in the context of the new anti-imperialist movement sweeping the Sahel. Keïta was the first staunchly pan-African, anti-colonial head of state in the Sahel region. Who was he? What mark did he leave on the Mali of today? These are the questions we explore. African Stream officially closed down operations on July 1st, but there were a few projects that we were still working on. One of them was a documentary on Modibo Keïta that we initially lost when Google took down our G Drive. However, due to the team's hard work, we were able to start from scratch, and here it is. We hope you enjoy. Let us know what you think in the comments.

African Stream CEO Ahmed Kaballo On Niger, Anti-Imperialism And The Brilliance Of Nigerians In this excerpt from a 2025 interview with West Africa Weekly, African Stream CEO and Founder, Ahmed Kaballo, comments on Niger’s revolution, how the Sahelian country’s record economic wins provide irrefutable evidence that anti-imperialism is the only true way forward for Africa, how Africa’s youth deserve better leadership, and how the sore lack of such good leadership has robbed the continent of its best and brightest. Based in Nairobi, Kenya, and active across all major social media platforms, African Stream pushed an unapologetically Pan-Africanist and anti-imperialist perspective into the global information space, awakening minds across the Motherland and its diaspora. It was forced to close down in 2024 after being deplatformed across YouTube, Facebook, TikTok, Instagram and Threads, based on false accusations from the U.S. Department of State.

While Africans argue about which of the African-resource-evacuation/Lobito-Corridor parties in DC to support in November (because the U.S. is really a militarised 1-party state divided only on issues like pronouns, Algerian Olympic boxers, and fictitious cat-eating Haitians), consider this: US Secretary of State Secretary Antony Blinken yesterday accused African Stream of being part of a global "Russian propaganda network" while announcing new sanctions against RT. African Stream's YouTube channel, on which I was scheduled to begin hosting a new podcast from next month, has since been suspended by Google. It is the latest in a tried-and-tested American habit of giving a dog a bad name in order to hang it. In the 19th century, Dr. Samuel Adolphus Cartwright from Mississippi theorised that Africans escaping from slave plantations must be afflicted with a mental problem because slavery was such an elevation from the natural status of an African that any African seeking to be free must be mentally ill. He called the proposed mental illness "Drapetomania," and he published multiple papers suggesting corrective treatments for "Drapetomania." A century later, during the Cold War, the US State Department and CIA began doing something similar whenever they decided to carry out an assassination or regime change. The CIA accused Patrice Lumimba of being a Soviet-linked Communist, and he was subsequently captured, tortured, murdered and dissolved in sulphuric acid by their Belgian proxies. The same people also accused Kwame Nkrumah of being a Soviet-linked communist, and the 1966 coup in Ghana was the result. Whenever any African leader emerged with a vision for national or regional growth and independence, the immediate accusation that followed was "The Russians are sponsoring him." It is a core tenet of American propaganda that Africa is fundamentally not supposed to have ideas, ideologies, thinkers, voices and leaders of its own - the continent exists for mining cheap resources and sending them to the coasts to be shipped to the Places Where Human Beings Actually Live. Africans, you see, are apparently far too stupid and unevolved, with our behind-the-bell-curve gorilla brains, to actually come up with ideas, voices and plans for our own future that do not coincide with the Western model. So when we do come up with these things, there is only one explanation - the Russians did it. Every single African liberation movement was accused of being Communist Russia's creation because Africans wanting to be free, independent, and economically prosperous must be a symptom of Drapetomania. Even Nelson Mandela, prior to his rebranding as Jesus Morgan Christ Freeman, was also accused of being indoctrinated and sponsored by the Russians. Unfortunately, the Lobito Corridor People are not capable of changing their worldview or adopting new tactics, because here we are in big 2024 and Blinken is here accusing me and the guys in Nairobi of being Russian government cutouts. This tells me 2 very important things: 1.) The work that African Stream and others in the non-western-controlled African media space are doing is having a real effect in cutting through decades of foreign propaganda and raising the independent consciousness of the new generation of internet-savvy young Africans. The US state propaganda machine cannot keep up with social media, and so it is lashing out with petulant stunts like holding a press conference falsely accusing an independent media platform in Nairobi of being "run by RT" WITH ZERO ATTEMPT AT PROVIDING ANY EVIDENCE FOR SUCH A CLAIM. 2.) Washington DC's Lobito Corridor government is planning to go to war in Africa. The first act in war is controlling the narrative. This is an attempt to destroy sources of alternative viewpoints so that Africans can once again go back to having only "America, woo woo!" as our news. When the information war is won, then the shooting war will commence. Dear African, you are under direct attack!

NEW INVESTIGATION: New York Times Bestselling author and journalist Max Lugavere has endured a sustained reputation attack on Wikipedia. In an interview, Max tells NPOV's Ashley Rindsberg how the Wikipedia attack damaged his reputation and turned his life's work—researching ways to prevent the dementia that took his mother's life—into malicious accusations. NPOV's investigation reveals a deeply coordinated network of editors called "the Skeptics" that works on Wikipedia as a coordinated editing group known as Guerrilla Skeptics on Wikipedia (GSOW). + The opening of the Wikipedia entry falsely labels Max an "anti-vegan activist." This now appears prominently on Google searches on Max. + Carefully curated film reviews are used to indirectly accuse Max of attempting to profit from his mother's disease and tragic death. + The key elements of the attack rely on articles written by two members of a center at McGill University known as the Office for Science and Society (OSS). + The main editor on Max's entry adds content from OSS figures, whose own entries on Wikipedia were created and/or currently controlled by GSOW editor Robincantin. + Susan Gerbic, a contributor to Skeptical Inquirer magazine and a fellow of the NGO that owns the magazine, has identified one Robin Cantin as "my editor." + Gerbic is founder of the Guerrilla Skeptics on Wikipedia project.

While in Rwanda delivering lectures on development at African Leadership University , I was interviewed by Le360 Afrique to share my reflections on the newly launched graduate school founded by the President of Rwanda Paul Kagame and the former Prime Minister of Ethiopia, Hailemariam Dessalegn. I expressed, without hesitation, that those of us committed to Pan-Africanism welcome the establishment of this school with open arms. I emphasized that the African policymaker cannot be authentically shaped within institutions that were not founded on the philosophical imperative of African liberation. I made it clear that the era of merely blaming the African state has passed. We are now in a season of building state capacity, reclaiming intellectual sovereignty, and designing governance systems grounded in our own historical and cultural realities. The African School of Governance (ASG) represents a bold step in that direction—a move away from dependency and mimicry, and toward self-defined, contextually rooted solutions.

It was my honor today to present a Palestinian Kufiyeh to her excellency Dr. Naledi Pandor, the South African minister of International relations, to express our love and gratitude as Palestinians to the people of South Africa. It was a symbolic gift and act from us as a token of love, unity and solidarity. It is symbolic, to take the kufiyeh from a shoulder of a Palestinian and place it on the shoulder of a South African leader, and acknowledge that today South Africans carries our cross as Palestinians with us upon their shoulders.
